BLS Crewe Heritage Centre, 25th March 2018

The BLS "Sussex Salopian" ran over the weekend of 24th & 25th March 2018, terminating at Crewe on 24th before continuing to Carnforth the following day. A tour of the Crewe Heritage Centre was arranged for the morning of the 25th to take in as much track as possible using a Class 03 shunter plus brake van - and also an unusual means of transport...
